I think OSU has players as good and fast as LSU they just made dumb penalties in bad spots, very un-Tressel like. Next year is Ohio State's year if the the guys on D come back.

Oh Tek....Pryor has already crossed OSU off the list he is down to Michigan and Oregon.

I only listened to this game (still was on the road back from Mobile). Just sounds like OSU made way too many mistakes and LSU capitalized.

Congrats to Coach Stud. Awesome to see a BG alum get a National Championship ring, even if it's with someone else.

I believe you got some incorrect news, sir.

He is down to UM, Florida and OSU..isn't taking a visit to Florida.

may not even have time to go to UM..he has a few more weeks of HS bball then it will be LOI day..

95% Buckeye as Steve Helwagen from Bucknuts.com puts it.

he is good friends with the "Brew crew"..hung out with them all week during the army all american game, and went to dinner with them after the game. Even asked for a buckeyes decal from Michael Brewster to put on his helmet during the game.

Oregon not in the picture.

Todd Mcshey (sp?) from Scouts Inc. this past week said Michigan, Oregon. Leaning towards Michigan because of location. And Michigan because of Rodriguez's system now being there. Hey don't get me wrong I would love to see him become a Buckeye.

Much like how this year was crazy without any truly good teams, next year should be the opposite.

Depending on underclassmen declaring, of course, there should be some very good teams next year. OSU & UF both return almost all of their key players. USC loses Booty, but returns a ton of talent otherwise. Oklahoma is young and returns most of their talent as well.

Of course all of it is dependent on who declares early for the draft, but right now it's looking like there will be some seriously good teams in college football next season.

hammb your toolness has been validated by that comment. No good teams?? At the beginning of the seaon they were talking about LSU and USC as possibly being 2 of the most talented teams in the last 15 years. This proves ur big 10 bias and to the rest of the country as herstreit said lastnight, the big 10 falls between conf usa and the mac! Its next to impossible for a team to go through the sec scheduale and go undefeated which is why there was such an upproar when auburn didnt get in the nat title game a few years ago. USC proved how dominate they could be and the fact is they layed an egg against standford no brainer, then just ran into a monster against oregon at the time in which was the hottest team in the country before dixon got hurt. And then there is georgia who is going to be my preseason number 1 next year. how great would it have been to see a usc/georgia rose bowl and a lsu/oregon sugar when oregon was a machine. the big 10 was terrible, the only reason ohio state had the number 1 defense was because they didnt play anybody! i cant wait to see them get romped next year when they play usc.

He's a tool because he said the team who played for the national championship is going to be good if their guys don't declare for the NFL draft? Well lets put it this way.....Ohio State was supposed to be down a tad this year...next year was supposed to be the year. So should they say sorry because everyone else fell apart? Your post is one of the dumbest posts I have read in a while.

Someone call Columbus and tell them next time everyone else in the country looses and they get invited to play for the National Championship they should turn it down along with all the publicity and money that comes with it.

And when did hammb become a Big10 homer just out of curiosity?

everyones knows hammb is osu fan. im not blaming osu for getting to the national championship, they played the scheduale given to them and other people just fell like dominos. this truly was a CRAZY season and i believe that it's because of the fact that there were SOOO many good teams out there. to say there weren't any good teams this year is ludicrous. i believe usc and lsu were better teams than the 2006 florida team. osu did what they were asked to do, as all teams under tressel do, he is a very good coach and prepares his team well. but the hard truth is he doesn't play the best competition and when he does he looses because osu's lack of top skill players i.e. wr's and cb's aside from malcom jenkins. chris wells is a heck of a running back and has a very bright college career and a future 1-3rd round pick. they must adjust their defense to playing the spread or they will get lit up like that have in the past. you CAN NOT play zone against the spread or you will get picked apart. this is where they need key skill players on the outside in order to be able to match up man for man. lsu went man on the corners all game. they cud do this due to superior speed and athletic ability. if you osu nutthugers really want to compete against an sec team, start recruiting down south! and stop getting slow ohio boys.

This is the 1st year in a while I can remember that the Big 10 was this down and the OOC was this bad. The 2 years prior Ohio St. played Texas home and away and the Big 10 was much stronger. I don't know if Ohio St. will ever change the defensive schemes, it works in the Big 10 and thats where they need it to, the 1st goal for every team is to win their own conference. And I'm sick of people telling me how slow Ohio kids are. Did anyone else see Ted Ginn (OH) blaze by the Florida special teams last year, Chris Wells (OH) run away from LSU's All-American Safety this year. Todd Blackledge said it best OSU's D looked slow against Florida because they were confused and on their heels that makes for a slow D. Same with last night, in the 2nd half it looked like OSU had started to figure out the LSU O and began flying to the football and looked fast again. Every big time team in the country has the same number of fast guys. Florida, LSU, Ohio St., W. Virginia, Michigan they are all fast. I would argue Ohio St. is a lot faster now than they were in '02 when they played Miami who had a ton of speed.

PS-Check the Ohio St. roster they have a freshman All-American from Georgia and a number of guys from Florida. Everyone recruits Florida, hell BG has a number of guys from Florida. Besides I would take Ohio High School Football over Georgia, Louisiana, or Florida for that matter.

I really don't want to get involved in a non-BG argument on the football board, but I will since I'm being called a tool, I guess.

For starters, I'm not really an OSU fan. I root for them because I did when I was a child, but I really couldn't care less. Honestly, I've taken more joy out of the dejection of the OSU fans around me today than I ever would have personally gotten out of them winning yesterday. I really don't care what they do good or bad. The same goes for the Big 10, and I assure you I'm no Big 10 homer. I've been pretty critical of the Big 10 all season long. Perhaps not on here much, but this is a BG board, and I rarely ever venture into the other schools section. I'm far from a Big 10 homer, and I don't even know what in my original post would lead one to believe I am?

As to the no good teams comment, yup, I stand by it. We just finished up a season where the national champion has two losses. When was the last time that happened? I cannot remember it in my lifetime. You think LSU & USC, etc were better than Florida last year? Sorry, I don't really agree. Perhaps they were, but that Florida team had a lot of upperclassmen, and made it through the SEC with only one loss. This year's SEC leaders had 2 losses, and I just don't see where it was appreciably more difficult this year. USC had multiple losses as well, including one to freaking Stanford.

On the whole I don't really disagree with anything you said. Except for the part where I'm a tool, of course. I don't really care what anyone was saying in the preseason in regards to LSU or USC. They're both supremely talented, but neither was a great team; great teams don't lose 2 games. Spare me the difficulty of the SEC schedule, I'm not going to deny the depth of the league, but other teams have made it through there before. '06 Florida had one loss, '04 Auburn made it undefeated, '03 LSU had only one loss, '02 Georgia had only one loss. I agree the SEC is the best league in college football, and has been for the last 4-5 years or so. Still, in that time frame teams have managed to put together better seasons than this year's LSU team. That's not to say they were not the best team THIS year. They were definitely the best team I watched play all year, and I've said as much many times. That doesn't change the fact, though, that they were a 2 loss team and not an all time great team.

But whatever, I'm a tool, it's all good. You can continue to think that, and it's fine, because I think you struggle to formulate a coherent sentence. I guess we're even.

You realize the HUGE difference in talent between the Big 10 and SEC?

Every week you have to bring your A game, which isn't the case in the Big 10, especially this year. Plus a Charmin soft OOC schedule, and Ohio State beat who? Michigan? Washington? They lost to the best team they played, no reason what-so-ever that they should've been in the title game. They made it through with 1 loss, that's great, but you don't deserve a title opportunity over team's that actually went out and played a challenging schedule.

But after the way Ohio State has stunk up the BCS title game the past 2 years, I hope the voters will handicap whatever they do in the future. If it's a toss up between the Buckeyes and ________, theres no doubt that these piss poor title game performances will be in their minds.

If Ohio State played LSU's schedule this year, they'd probably lose 3-4 games.
